In collaboration with researchers at the University of California San Francisco (<abbr>UCSF<\/abbr>) and the University of California Irvine, <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa is launching a multi-year initiative to expand the <abbr>CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 registry.<\/p>\n<p>Funded by the National Institute on Aging, the project builds upon an earlier <abbr>UCSF<\/abbr>-led initiative called <abbr>CARE<\/abbr> (Collaborative Approach for AANHPI Research and Education). This expanded phase seeks to recruit more <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> individuals for aging-related studies while addressing barriers to participation and enhancing community engagement.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our team in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> is excited to be part of this national effort to diversify research participation,&rdquo; said Christy Nishita, interim director of the Center on Aging. &ldquo;By partnering with community organizations, stakeholders and cultural informants, we aim to increase awareness of the value of aging research and ensure that findings reflect the diverse experiences of <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> populations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2><abbr>CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 eligibility and registration<\/h2>\n<p>Participants who join <abbr>CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 may be contacted for research on topics such as brain health and caregiving. Studies vary in commitment, from one-time surveys to long-term data collection, and participation is always voluntary.<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility requirements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify as Asian, Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander<\/li>\n<li>18 years or older<\/li>\n<li>Speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hawaiian, Hindi, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Samoan, Tagalog or Vietnamese<\/li>\n<li>Reside in the <abbr>U.S.<\/abbr> or <abbr>U.S.<\/abbr> Associated Pacific Islands<\/li>\n<li>Willing to be contacted for health research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First-time research participants are encouraged to apply to help address health disparities in <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> communities. <a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/aging\/care-research-registry\/\">Learn more or enroll in the registry<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Center on Aging will also provide educational resources on healthy aging, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2025\/01\/27\/brain-health-student-campaign\/\">brain health tips<\/a> and support services for caregivers and those living with dementia. Student volunteers will serve as <abbr>CARE<\/abbr> ambassadors to assist with recruitment while gaining valuable research experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Expanding <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> research participation<\/h2>\n<p><abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr>s are the fastest-growing racial groups in the United States, yet from 1992 to 2018, less than 1&#37; of the National Institutes of Health\u2019s budget was allocated to <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> research. Nishita emphasized that <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>\u2019s multiethnic population provides an ideal environment to recruit participants for the <abbr>CARE<\/abbr> 2.0 registry.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Beyond enrollment, we hope to gain insights into challenges, effective outreach strategies, and opportunities for increasing <abbr>AANHPI<\/abbr> participation in scientific studies on aging,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> Center on Aging is recruiting Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander participants for a national registry to improve representation in research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[1133,970,33,1467,1363,596,9],"class_list":["post-211823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research","tag-aging","tag-center-on-aging","tag-hawaiian","tag-manoa-excellence-in-research","tag-manoa-research","tag-myron-b-thompson-school-of-social-work","tag-uh-manoa","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211823"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211863,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211823\/revisions\/211863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
